Title appearance

I've just moved this so the dates are consistent with other event titled articles, but I'm not sure if we should have a small 'p' or a capital 'P' for protests. Any thoughts? This is Paul (talk) 00:24, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

I've checked other similar articles, and it looks like small 'p' wins the day. This is Paul (talk) 15:17, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Rewrite

I've given the article a complete do-over as I noticed many concerning issues with the previous text. These included:

  • Concerningly unreliable sources (young communist league, etc.)
  • Slightly propagandistic tone (corrected to be as neutral as I can get it)
  • Padding with excessive paragraphs
  • Counterintuitive headers

I've also updated the article as events have changed since it was last updated it seems. FJones2123 (talk) 19:41, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Coming back to this article, I've noticed now that when cleaned up, only events in November 2020 are within the scope of this article (actual protests at the university). The date being placed after the title is also out of line with other similar articles so I will move the page to a more appropriate title and header. I'll also then add it to the relevant categories and navboxes. FJones2123 (talk) 13:43, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
